Types, stages and forms, explained
The type decides what your fakemon can do, and the stage decides where it sits in its evolution line. Pick one of each and the rest of the design falls into place.

The 18 types
Every Pokémon has one or two types. Most date back to Red and Green; Dark and Steel arrived in Gold and Silver, and Fairy in X and Y. Of the 171 possible combinations, nine have never been used: Normal/Ice, Normal/Bug, Normal/Rock, Normal/Steel, Fire/Fairy, Ice/Poison, Ground/Fairy, Bug/Dragon and Rock/Ghost.

Baby Pokémon
The lowest stage of a line. A baby cannot breed itself, but its evolved forms can, and several evolve only after building high friendship with their trainer. Babies arrived with breeding in Gold and Silver. A line still tops out at three stages, so a baby usually comes before a two-stage line, like Pichu before Pikachu and Raichu.

Basic stage
The unevolved first form of a line, and the natural place to start a fakemon. The Grass, Fire and Water first partners of every region start here, and Pokémon Winds and Waves keeps the trio with Browt, Pombon and Gecqua.

Middle stage
Evolution lines have one, two or three stages. Most Pokémon evolve by gaining a level, by being exposed to an item such as an evolution stone, or by being traded. The middle stage is the awkward teen of the line: bigger, sleeker and a little more sure of itself.

Final stage
The end of the line. A final form keeps the colors and one feature of its earlier stages, then adds size, armor or a second type. Many starter lines gain their second type only here: Charmander and Charmeleon are pure Fire, and Charizard is Fire/Flying.

Legendary and Mythical
Rare, powerful Pokémon that appear in the myths of their region, often as a trio. In the main games no Legendary can breed or hatch from an Egg, and most do not evolve. Mythical Pokémon, like Mew, are a separate group that was traditionally only handed out at events.

Regional forms
The same species adapted to another region, usually with a different type. They started with the Alolan forms in Sun and Moon, where Alolan Vulpix is a white-furred Ice type, and Galar, Hisui and Paldea added more. A regional form of your own fakemon is an easy second design.

Mega, Gigantamax and Tera
Temporary battle transformations. Mega Evolution came in X and Y and returned in Legends: Z-A. Gigantamax, from Sword and Shield, makes a Pokémon huge and changes its look. Terastallization in Scarlet and Violet changes its type and gives it a crystal body with a jewel crown on its head.

Names and moves
Name your fakemon, pick a signature move
Most Pokémon names blend two words into one, like Squirtle (squirt + turtle) or Charizard (char + lizard). Mix an element word with a creature word, then pick a signature move. Every click goes straight onto your fakemon in the generator.

Guide
How to make a Pokémon OC
Whether you call it a fakemon, a custom Pokémon or a Pokémon OC, a design that feels official comes down to five decisions. The generator does the drawing; these are worth making first.
- 1
Start from one real thing and one twist
Official designs usually start from one animal, plant or object and add a twist: a tanuki whose belly is a teakettle, a snail with a cinnamon-roll shell. Write the base and the twist in Extra details before you pick anything else.
- 2
Let the type explain the design
Pick a type the base already suggests, and add a second type only if the design shows it. A platypus that senses electric pulses reads as Water/Electric at a glance. For something nobody has done, try one of the nine pairings no Pokémon uses yet, like Fire/Fairy or Rock/Ghost.
- 3
Keep the shapes simple
Official art uses a few big shapes, two or three main colors and one accent. Choose a body color and a markings color and stop there. A design you can sketch from memory reads well at any size, from a sprite to a reference sheet.
- 4
Plan the whole evolution line
Keep the colors and one feature that grows from stage to stage, like a tail sprout that turns into a flowering branch. Generate the basic stage first, then reload the same details with Middle and Final for a full line.
- 5
Name it and give it a move
Blend two words into one name and search the Pokédex before you post it, since many simple blends are taken. Then write one signature move that shows the idea in action; it gives the art an effect to draw and gives your fakemon a story.

FAQ
Pokémon OC maker FAQ
Yes. A free account comes with credits, enough for several creatures, and every image costs the same small number of credits after that. No card is needed to sign up.
A Pokémon OC maker on Picrew is a dress-up game: you stack parts one artist drew, so every result shares the same pose and pieces. This Pokémon OC creator is an AI generator that draws a new picture from your choices, so the body, the types and the move effect come out as your own. Think of it as a Pokémon character creator that does the drawing for you, rather than an avatar maker or a customizer for existing Pokémon.
Yes. Fakemon is the fan word for an original, made-up Pokémon, and fans also call one a custom Pokémon or a Pokémon OC. This Pokémon character maker is for the creatures. To create a Pokémon character who is a person, pick the Pokémon trainer OC creator from the list of other OC creators on this page.
Normal, Fire, Water, Grass, Electric, Ice, Fighting, Poison, Ground, Flying, Psychic, Bug, Rock, Ghost, Dragon, Dark, Steel and Fairy. A Pokémon has one or two of them. Nine pairs have never been used: Normal/Ice, Normal/Bug, Normal/Rock, Normal/Steel, Fire/Fairy, Ice/Poison, Ground/Fairy, Bug/Dragon and Rock/Ghost. Set them in Primary type and Second type.
Yes. Generate the basic stage first, then keep the same colors and Extra details and switch Evolution stage to Middle and Final. Lines in the games have one, two or three stages, and a baby counts as one of them, so Baby, Basic and Final make a full three-stage line too.
Yes, pick Legendary as the stage. Legendaries in the games are rare, tied to a myth of their region and often part of a trio; none can breed, and most do not evolve. Give yours a myth in one line, like "its stomps made the craters on the moon", and keep it to one big power.
Pick one idea and one strength. The usual Mary Sue trap is stacking a rare type pair, Legendary status, a Mega Evolution and a move that beats everything onto one creature. Give it a clear weakness, like a type it fears or a habit that gets it into trouble, and let the rest stay ordinary.
Yes. The Special form field adds a regional form, a Mega Evolution, a Gigantamax form, a Terastallized crystal look or a shiny color scheme. For a regional form, make your fakemon first, then reload it with Regional and a new type for a colder or hotter place.
Yes. The Background picker has a tall-grass route where wild Pokémon hide, a crystal cave, a lakeshore, a gym battlefield and ancient ruins for a Legendary. Keep Plain for the clean look of official artwork, which is drawn on a white background.
Yes. Set Output to Ref sheet for front, side and back views with palette swatches. It helps when you plan the other stages of a line or hand the design to an artist or a fan game team.
Keep Anime for the clean official look with simple shapes and soft shading. Pick 3D for a look closer to the recent games, Chibi for a sticker or icon, or Sketch for a concept-art page.
Posting your fakemon in fandom spaces, as a profile picture or in roleplay is what it is made for. Pokémon belongs to Nintendo, Creatures and Game Freak, and The Pokémon Company manages the brand, so check their rules before selling anything that uses the Pokémon name, the Poké Ball or the official style.
